The stated range is 4.0-9.8 depending on severity. The anecdotal records aggregated from long time participants here suggest a 1" tear has a max of 7.0. IMO the apparent staining issues here are the bigger detractor, at least as far as CGC is concerned. Stains are a way bigger no-no than tears. Somewhere in the not too distant past, someone had an early ASM is a ~3" tear through the back cover & a substantial number of wraps & it was still a 3.0 (or 3.5, but I remember 3.0) bronzemarvel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
